Chapter 101
"Going out in a hurry, I don't have time to bring money in the future, can you give me a day, and I will send the money tomorrow." He smiled apologetically at Mrs. Ning.

"That can't be done!" Liu Da raised his eyebrows upside down, "I think the hairpin on this little lady's head is worth a few bucks, why don't you exchange it for this!"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Ye Zhaoyan's head.

I saw a gorgeous red jade hairpin on the girl's complicated bun. The hairpin was stained with some dust, but it still looked extraordinary.

The whole body of the hairpin is blood red, with intricate and gorgeous patterns carved, and the head of the hairpin is adorned with a crystal clear blood diamond, shining brightly under the sunlight.

"It's a loss to exchange such a beautiful hairpin for buns!"

Looking at the blood-red red jade hairpin, Mrs. Ning couldn't help admiring.

Ye Zhaoyan took off the hairpin silently, lowered his eyes and did not speak.

This thing came from Mrs. Xue, she didn't care about it, but it's not appropriate to live outside after all.

It is necessary to prevent people with a heart from following their tracks.

Just when Ye Zhaoyan was hesitating, the hairpin in his hand was gently taken away.

A coolness swept across her face, and a few strands of soft black hair brushed her eyelashes.

She raised her head, and saw the boy's long hair flowing like a waterfall, and then obediently draped over his shoulders.

At some point, he had already removed the crown jade from his head.

He took the hairpin and wiped off the dust on it with his sleeve, and while fixing it for her, he said softly: "This hairpin is too precious."

His movements were very gentle, as if treating something he loved, which made Ye Zhaoyan feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

She raised her eyes and looked at his delicate and handsome face, feeling a little lost for a moment.

"There is nothing special about this hairpin."

Ye Zhaoyan's tone was as calm as water, she couldn't read his mood.

"There is nothing special about this crown jade." Zhuo Yibai said with a smile, and handed the untied crown jade to Liu Da who was beside him.

Liu Da took the crown jade, looked at the decorations on it, and there was a bit of greed in his tiger eyes.

This crown jade is more precious than the red jade hairpin, it is not ordinary at first glance!

This young man is willing to exchange such a treasure for a bag of steamed buns?

Liu Da raised his head to look him up and down, and his eyes fell on Ye Zhaoyan's face, "Little sister, you really married a good man!"

"Yes, Mr. Lang is so kind to you, you have to treat him well!" Mrs. Ning echoed with a smile.

Ye Zhaoyan looked down at the corner of his skirt and nodded slightly.

"Girl, it's very cold at night on the mountain. If you don't mind, why don't you bring a woman's clothes?" asked Mrs. Ning.

This little lady is as beautiful as a flower and jade, if she gets cold, she will definitely catch cold and get sick.

Ye Zhaoyan was about to refuse, but when he let go behind him, the young man had already rolled off his horse gently, "Then I will trouble Granny Ning."

After speaking, he turned around and stretched out his slender arms to Ye Zhaoyan, motioning for her to put her hands on him and get off the horse.

The three people on the side watched them quietly, and there was silence all around.

Ye Zhaoyan was hesitating whether to jump off the horse by himself, the young man turned his head slightly, looked at her softly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Lady, help me."

"You..." Ye Zhaoyan lowered his head and met those vast star-like eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable on his face.

She finally put her hand in his.

His fingers were long and strong, and his palm was dry and soft, very warm.

Ye Zhaoyan has calluses on the palms of his hands. Such hands are not like women's hands, and they are not suitable for playing the piano and writing.

Seeing their intimate behavior, Mrs. Ning showed envy on her face.

Although her man is nice, he is not so delicate and gentle.

The two followed Mrs. Ning into a room.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, just a wooden bed, two cabinets and a set of tables and chairs, nothing else.

Mrs. Ning took out her robe and handed it to Ye Zhaoyan, "Miss, remember to change it at night, so as not to suffer from the cold."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled gratefully at her.

Zhuo Yibai held a plate of vegetables, stuffed the white buns into her hands, and handed her a pair of chopsticks, "Eat first."

"I'll do it myself." Ye Zhaoyan reached out to take the white bun, walked to the side and sat down.

"Eat slowly, there is water on the table." Zhuo Yibai raised a faint smile on his brows.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't look at him any more, and focused on eating the white bun with his head down.

"Grandma Ning, do you have Fuxi Pill here?" Zhuo Yibai asked.

"Fuxi Pill?" Granny Ning was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "This kind of medicine is too expensive, I can't afford it. But I have a few flavors of the medicinal materials in it. If you need it urgently, you might as well take it .”

After that, she rummaged through it, took out a dusty medicine bag, and handed it to Zhuo Yibai.

"Thank you." Zhuo Yibai cupped his hands in thanks.

He took out a few herbs from the medicine bag and cleaned them, took another veil to wrap the medicine bag carefully, beat it with a wooden stick until fine, and handed the powder to Mrs. Ning.

"Please trouble Grandma Ning to cook for me for fifteen minutes."

"Okay, Mr. Lang is really amazing." Mrs. Ning took the medicine bag and replied with a smile, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Zhaoyan's eyes, he actually knows medical skills?

She thought that he was just a pampered young master.

She lowered her head and ate the white steamed bun, thinking to herself that she should practice more skills in the future to be prepared.

When the medicine was ready, Zhuo Yibai handed the medicine to Ye Zhaoyan, "Drink it while it's hot!"

Ye Zhaoyan was taken aback, looking at the brown and yellowish soup in the bowl, "For me?"

"En." Zhuo Yibai nodded slightly, his voice became softer and softer, "It can relieve Xufeng San."

"Your husband is really a good man." Mrs. Ning said with a smile.

Ye Zhaoyan drank the medicinal soup in one gulp, and the bitter taste spread on the tip of her tongue. She frowned, handed the bowl back to him, and said, "Next time, add sugar."

Zhuo Yibai: "."

Seeing his helpless appearance, Mrs. Ning smiled even brighter.

Zhuo Yibai put the empty bowl into Granny Ning's hands, "Grandma, thank you for today!"

"Mr. Lang, you are being polite!" Mrs. Ning waved her hand, "My wife also has something to ask."

"please say."

"I wonder if Mr. Lang can bring a letter to the Ye family's army in Shangbi Mountain?" Mrs. Ning tentatively asked.

Hearing her request, Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback.

Shangbishan Ye Family Army, the army led by Ye Zhengping?
Isn't it where they are going?

"This..." Zhuo Yibai was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask directly.

Seeing Zhuo Yibai's hesitation, Mrs. Ning quickly assured her: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, Commander Ye is a good man and will not make things difficult for you."

She paused, her brows frowned, "I just don't know why, outsiders are not allowed to visit there now, and my family Duhu hasn't written to me for a long time. I'm really worried as a mother, so please help me."

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes became deep, and waves appeared in his eyes.

"How long has it been?" She asked, her voice was steady, but with an imperceptible tremor.

"Almost a month."
